i have an interceptor and wideband everything seems fine and it has only happened in like the last month and a half and it happen before and after i was tuned
Another thing to note is that GM revised the IM gasket to improve the CV. You may need to replace that depending on your model year...

here all you need to know about it https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-0l-lsj-performance-tech-47/alert%2A%2Adipstick-popping-out-here-solution-39770/
Check your PCV valve. If its plugged and not working it cant vent the crank case pressure, which would make it seek any outlet it can and since the dipstick isnt really held in by much it would go there.
I'm not sure of the other engines, but the LSJ does not have a PCVV.
